This customer-first approach is how we built the world's most adopted cloud. Join us and help us grow.

Solutions Architects work hand in hand with AWS customers to help them make the most of the Cloud. They are at the crossroads of business and technology and engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption.

Solutions Architects own the overall technical relationship between customers and AWS. They work to understand the customer's business needs and give prescriptive guidance on how to create business value with technology.

In this role you will get to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible. You will have the opportunity to define or invent cloud-native reference architectures for a variety of use cases. You will have the support to grow your expertise in software industry and technology areas of depth. Every day you will be learning something new from your customers, your peers and your own experiments.

At Amazon you will be encouraged and rewarded for doing what is right for the long-term success of the customer. We value your passion to discover, invent and build on behalf of customers.
